Scott Frost Was Hired To Fix Nebraska Football. Instead, He Helped It Reach New Lows.
Scott Frost could not restore the Huskers to their former glory.

I always thought that Nebraska was the least likely of the football superpowers: Yes, they have great fans and a big weight room but they are not in a heavily populated state that produces tons of D1 players like Ohio, Florida, Texas or California. When the sport moved away from the option and towards more passing, I think that hurt them. Getting into the revolving door coaching trap with guys like Callahan, Pellini, Riley and Frost hasn't helped.
